St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle;
be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him we humbly pray;
and do thou O Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, by the power of God,
cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
The bible, if you read it says quite specifically, that only God hears your prayers and only through Jesus. What’s this trash about praying to all these different people, (dead I might add) and to ANGELS! Only Jesus! Only He hears your prayers. By no other can we be saved.
Thanks, Richard
It seems that the Archangel Michael is particulary assigned to combat the devil personally. Due to the fall of the angels and the scripture in Revelation. The key to this prayer though is the part “May GOD rebuke him we humbly pray” St. Michael in itself means “Who is like God.” and he didn’t fight Satan without God’s backing. He is smarter and has the humility to know that he can’t do this on his own. Since angels are created a little higher than men in this world we should definantly follow through by his example.
I totally agree with you Kassie!
